Variety confirmed our first new cast member for Iron Fist Season 2 (with the exception of Simone Missick’s Misty Knight), though no details of Eve’s role were provided with the announcement. Recent reports of Iron Fist Season 2 casting suggested freelance covert operative “Tanya Parker” might serve as a new villain, with some speculating her as the MCU equivalent of either “Lady Gorgon” or “Black Mamba.”

Here’s what Marvel said of the casting:

We are very excited to have an actress of Alice’s stature join the cast of ‘Marvel’s Iron Fist.’ Her exceptional talent brings an intrigue and danger to her character unlike anyone else.
